A strong finish to our trip to South Carolina on the way home, and our first local outing in a few weeks. We find some well hidden vipers, along with plenty of the usual suspects!

Damn, sorry to hear about the bout with covid! I actually haven’t heard anyone I know contracting it recently. I had it twice, the first time (before Christmas 2020) was rough, the second time wasn’t bad. I’ve had all the vaccines I’m going to have at this point (3.)
Nice first of the year catch of a Inchworm!!!!

A highly venomous & aggressive specimen too! 😂
Great stuff as usual. I always enjoy seeing the box turtles you come across. I had something called the BTRU when I was younger. It stood for Box Turtle Rescue Unit and I had a couple hundred people in Arkansas that joined and would assist turtles across the road. Anyway, lol. Catch you on the flip-side. Richard from Arkansas
It's always a pleasant surprise to see your SC/GA piedmont videos pop up on the feed; my stomping grounds! Not always the most productive herping area, but that makes it all the more exciting when cool stuff pops up! Awesome vid as always man.
Crazy the camouflage on that copperhead. Love it ❤
I love your herping videos.
Awesome video! Appreciate the content and how you show the true side of reptiles!
After spending ages looking at your short on that camo copperhead, it's WAY easier to see the snake in this full/wide angle than the vertical one. Thank you for including it here!
Nice to see upload
It's very cool that you and your father share a love for herps. 🐍
Camouflage on that copper head. 🤯
Right before you showed the first box turtle I was just thinking none of the herpers I follow have shown any on their channels thus far this year. They usually emerge much earlier in April to breed, even up here in NY but glad they are out and about & looking healthy. I don’t think that BT virus ever made it this far north thankfully. Also, maybe it’s a regional thing but the Easterns here in the NY/NJ/PA area seem to be much more vibrantly colored; some (males especially) have orange, yellow & red all on one specimen.
Nice corn snake, small ratsnake, box turtle and vipers. That copperhead was almost invisible.
I used to catch ring necks in New York, but they were red instead of yellow.

Years ago when I was in high school in Brooklyn, NY (John Dewey) we’d find ring necks -also red and garters on the property. There was a natural pond on the school’s several acre grounds with snappers in it and I also found an Eastern Box Turtle there once. I think it actually escaped or was released from the school’s marine biology lab although they did find several E Boxs in Prospect Park, also in Bklyn!
Feel better. Covid sux And that corn will be beautiful after shed
well done Noah
The birds sounded cool with the inchworm
That copperhead was perfectly hidden , hard to see even when pointed out
4:50- “hopefully I’ll see something else on the way back to the car, but if not….oh, there’s a dead armadillo.” 😂😂 Not callously laughing at a dead armadillo, just the way it surprised you while talking and the way you phrased it. I don’t know, that just made me laugh. 👍🏼
I hope that you all are safe after the severe weather. We had severe weather in Northwest Ohio, as well as the neighboring states of Indiana and Michigan, but my location was safe, fortunately

I'm glad it was light. I am a spotter and chaser, but do to surgery, could not go out. I emailed a friend in Xenia, to see if Xenia was alright. I go to Xenia often to research the tornado, have fallen in love with the town, and all though I have always lived in Northwest Ohio, consider it my city, also. I know Xenia is close to both counties

@@dancline2143 I was 6yrs old when that F5 took out Xenia, that same twister hit a neighborhood one town away from me before it got to Xenia. We were in our basement with the neighbors cos we had the only basement, after it passed we took a ride to see the damage in Beacon Hills, weird to see a house standing untouched when the other homes next to it flattened on either side. I had nightmares about tornadoes for years after that, it was so quiet before it came through the sky was a mix of black and yellow then all hell broke loose. Those cells in the 70's were something to behold. I hunt pheasant close to Xenia and Washington Courthouse New Holland, I love that area.
I’ve never seen one but this week I’ve got a yard full of pine snakes. About 12. Also, a large, 4-5 inch black lizard/salamander lookin thing.-Jasper, Ga.
You ruined that Racer's whole afternoon 😂
Come back to the flint hills!
Been herping 20 years and I very rarely see snakes under bark, and have never seen any use stumps for brumation. Just not how they operate in the Midwest.
Wow
Great stuff as always brother!! But while im on here i need your expertise to settle an argument for me! Can ya tell me what the northern most point in VA that cotton mouths have been positively documented??
Please, I have a question: During your search for herps, from your beverage cup do you take slurps?
Absolutely love timber's
"There's an adult Copperhead right there" - WHERE? I don't believe you. Oh, there it is.
Can you herp WMAs? I would think that is a good place to go
You should go herp in Oklahoma again I found a yellow bellied racer and a big garter snake this morning

The ring-neck snakes are offended by your dismissive comments.
Ive always heard the box turtle as "turtle " but are they a tortoise ?

They’re a mostly terrestrial turtle.
